So Siripala thinks that we Paridisians, are renowned for our rituals and beliefs. They say, the most despondent of people hold on to archaic and nonsensical belief systems.
Although Siripala doesn’t consider us despondent, like for example those in Haiti, we still insist on these beliefs just like those in Haiti would, right?
Mara was first taken for a good ride by Galley Sumaney, giving him water before he left to hand over nominations and advising the calling of an early election. Mara, in the 21st Century didn’t stop at just advice. He carried a little magic ball around him and kept squeezing it all over the world.
Even at the UN, men. Siripala couldn’t believe his eyes when he first saw the magic ball at the UN- Mugabe from Zimbabwe wouldn’t be caught doing such silly things, but oh, our one!
But, he hasn’t seemed to learn a lesson. River mother- Ganga Maani- seems to be the new topic among the young and trendy. Just the day after Chandi- our never scoring potential- scored a century, she took to her Facebook to say that it was after her blessings that he did so. Can you believe that? She put up photos of the cricketing kind together with her and all hell broke loose. Every man and woman with half a brain had a lot of things to say about it, of which no one said “thank you river mother” for the Paradisians young know better than that.
And who could we bet our balls not to disappoint us with some free entertainment. Mara himself. Walking in without the Satakey to visit a woodoo lady in 2017.
This, mind you, is the former President of Paridise isle ah! going for a chit chat on charms and sacrifices. We don’t know what was discussed but we do know that whatever that was, will be another good Lanuwa for the old man, what a shame..!!
Bomb the Parliament
So Thummulle Wimaley is known to shoot his mouth off without substance. Good speaker he is, and the devil must be given his due, but my God the nonsense he speaks. Makes you wonder if this man actually sits down and reads a book or perhaps the newspapers.
This time though, it wasn’t a factual error he made, which he usually overcomes with some verbal gymnastics. Instead, it was a call to bomb Parliament. Can you believe that?
We have Wimaley saying Parliament should be bombed. As expected, helicopters started flying around and the military were on full alert following the threat. I’m joking men.
Ha! you think anyone is going to take what he says ever remotely seriously? Well you will be surprised at the uproar it created among his own kind. Obviously, no men, because only his own kind suffer from Wimaley’s illness, no.
Wimaley in turmoil
So Piya- the spokesperson for Thummulle Wimaley’s party was to lash out at his leader. “ He should apologise to the nation” Piya insisted, following Thummulle’s, thuppahi statement. Piya lashing out came as a surprise to many, for none of them dared question the nonsense of Wimaley. If it was the passports, or the identity cards, or the luxurious house built, or the antics of his wife- none of them said a word. Mum was the policy.
Now, they seem to have found some backbone, not that it matters anyway because none of us were the least bit worried about a bomb going off anywhere in Paradise isle, but hey, there are people who take Wimaley seriously too. And none other than his comrades who are used to saying “ehey Wimaley” were the first to take him seriously, and thereafter pounce on him seriously.
No road to Nandikadal
So we have Gota’s new boy, Ke-mal, shooting his mouth off as has been usual since retirement. He also seems to have got the Fonny syndrome. A deadly syndrome that was remember, right? Ke-mal was to say at a self styled “gathering of intellectuals”, that everyone opposing the constitution must be killed and the bodies be carried below the level of knee. Hmmm, we had enough horror stories coming out from his book, now we have these threats also. These fellows I tell you have lost it. Present at the death threat event were all the self styled Gota puppeteers, all rising up and applauding, the moment Ke-mal made the threat. Shame no, that these intellectuals don’t know how a democracy works. We remember how it was under Gota, no. The ghosts of yesteryear still seem to be roaming around.
No go for Party boy Neththi
So Neththi is in the news, for all the wrong reasons. He is said to have threatened the one and only lady who told all of us about the Penthouse deal. The Attorney General’s made a big hue and cry about the sordid saga of the threat, but the boy has not been called to even make a statement.
So much for promptness and witness protection. Siripala thinks that the guy could’ve murdered and got away with it, given the time and the way the threat is being investigated in our good Ole Paradise isle, no.
